STI (sexually transmitted infections)
Catch chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and other STIs from passive urine signal. Restore the screening continuity primary care has lost.
STI nucleic acid markers
Nucleic-acid amplification signal for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas, and other STIs from a urine sample.
Nitrites (urine)
Bacterial reduction of urinary nitrate. Specific marker for gram-negative bacteriuria.
Leukocyte esterase
Enzyme from white blood cells in urine. Sensitive marker for urinary tract inflammation.
Urine immunoassay
Lateral-flow and microfluidic assays measuring hormones, drug metabolites, and infection-specific biomarkers from urine.
Urinalysis test strip
10-parameter reagent strip read at the seat. Captures pH, nitrites, leukocytes, glucose, blood, protein, ketones, urobilinogen, bilirubin, and specific gravity from each void.
Urine spectroscopy (optical / SERS)
Non-contact optical analysis of urine in the bowl or stream. Uses vis-NIR absorbance, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to fingerprint analytes without consumables. Calibrates against the same biochemistry strips read by urinalysis.
- 01
How might we restore routine STI screening for cohorts the system has stopped reaching?
- 02
How might we close the time between exposure and treatment from weeks to days?
- 03
How might we surface community-level STI signal without surveillance harms?
